A bit like if you don't stop that crying, I'll give you something to cry about
My mum used to say that to me, and I thought then, and still think, it was cruel and unjust. While I've always had a low crying threshold, I never turned on the tears deliberately by way of emotional blackmail. If I cry, it's because I'm distressed, however unreasonable that distress may have seemed to an adult. I vowed I would never say it to my own children, but since they never materialised, I've not been put to the test.
@Hostafan1 ... 🍦 It’s ridiculously hot here 🥵 36.6C
perfect
37.4 now 🏝 🍹
Even better. I think it's a fairly warm 23C here
Funny how wide the temp range can be just a few miles apart... over here in SE Devon just 5 miles or so from Teignmouth it's 28.3c and a very very pleasant heat, not muggy like yesterday (98% humidity!)
No, I am not the enjoyment police, I had a salt caramel ice cream on the beach, I have a glass of vino here, what made me cross, was daughter (moaning she had gone from a size 10 to a 14) Hubby who doesnt drink alcohol with a beer gut, have both been moaning they want to loose weight,( My daughter did annoy me because she seems to think the virus is one big joke)then eating an extra up to 700 extra cals a day,on top of the normal 3 meals, of course you are not going to loose weight. She will hapily drink a bottle of wine a night, I have a bottle a week. I put on 10lb at the begninng of lockdown, easy to go to the fridge. I stopped eating the cakes,biscuits,chocolates,sweets,after a couple of weeks didnt miss them. This isn't a diet, is just sensible eating,healthy stuff. I have never made negative comments about their size, they don't need me to do that, they know full well, Husband too scared to say so, you have got to be joking, he is from Sarf London, says it exactly as it is. He thinks it's pretty dreadful I have a bottle of wine a week, because he desnt drink.
